Tim Presley to release new book: ‘Under the Banner of Concern’
(photo:Ruth Swanson) "I guess now we’re all living in those old paintings of people lying around on couches doing nothing with their boobs out." - Dana Berger, actress and Tweeter Yes, Dana. I'm here. When I'm not working, I'm doing nothing. If I didn't have a roommate, these boobs would be OUT. The pandemic has taken away so many things.

All these myriad projects under his belt, he somehow has time for another, [...]
